hey guys
i'm not dead yet, and this is not dead yet, just in a long coma. i feel it has too much potential to throw away.
unfortunately that feeling also paralyses me a bit because i want to do something worthy with it and haven't had the time and strength to commit myself to it fully. this is more than a forum game for me, and has turned into a full blown life project. i want to give it it's own website and monetise it with ads and donations and unicorn hookers, and i'm also entertaining the idea of making a browser based or standalone multiplayer game inspired by it
i've been without a (steady) job for the past 3 years, and my father passed away one and a half years ago, leaving me in a complicated situation, both emotionally and financially. i'm getting up now, though, i've ditched my youthful dream of being an illustrator (for now), i'm doing a 180 degree turn and i'm going to study software engineering, and for the past 6 months i've been teaching myself 3 years of high-school maths so i can apply for a degree at the local university. it's been intense, but i feel ready, and i better be, because the admission exam is in 3 days.
that means that in four days i'll finally be able to procrastinate without feeling guilty, and when i get tired of doing that, pixel tribe is on the top of my list of things to get back to
